Wowhead's 2015 Holiday Giveaway

As the snow falls outside of Ironforge and Orgrimmar, the Wowhead team is taking a moment to reflect how great 2015 has been to us. From a wonderful BlizzCon with our epic party to the exciting reveal of Demon Hunters, 2015 has been a good year to be your World of Warcraft database.

Winners

How to Win

Great-father Winter needs our help! A Rotten Little Helper stole all the presents and it's up to you guys to get each Stolen Present back--they're hidden all over our database and you'll have to find them before holidays are over. We'll provide you the clues, but you'll have to do the rest of the sleuthing on your own.

For every clue you answer by visiting its respective database entry, you'll get entered into the contest through unlocking a special holiday Wowhead achievement. The achievement can be earned up to ten times meaning you have ten chances to win.

Participating is as easy as reading the riddles and going on a hunt through Wowhead's database while logged in. Use your own resources and get creative while looking for the answers; try searching for various keywords found in the clues and remember that Google is always your friend.

And if you get stuck, don't despair--some of them are hard while some are easy, so everyone should be able to get at least one entry into this contest!

Here are the ten clues for the ten presents:

An homage to Bad Robot Productions, this lil rascal may have been quite demanding to craft but he made up for it by being very adorable.

If you like conga lines and you aren't too bothered by the fact that it's not a toy, this item might be right up your alley. Plus it's always cool when items long since datamined finally show up on the servers unannounced.

Rogues have a lot of good fortune coming their way in Legion. From finally getting to live out their fantasies as Outlaws to this unique off-hand, there's really no reason for them to dread the expansion.

With Dalaran coming back in Legion, it makes sense Blizzard finally made an toy to help players shine their shoes--we wouldn't want poor Sheddle Glossgleam to get overwhelmed!

If you're good at swimming and don't particularly fear sharks, this majestic mount might be right up your alley to go farm. Unfortunately he drops from a rare. The good news? It's a promised drop, even if everyone's still camping him despite how long he's been in the game for.

Don't worry, we won't spoil Star Wars for you--instead we'll just remind you about this blue two-handed light sabre exists for fans of the force who are Alliance warriors.

In addition to being one of the most powerful legendaries in Hearthstone, this archmage appears in World of Warcraft as a magnificent statue built in his image in Dalaran.

Do you miss BlizzCon? Well, maybe you'll get lucky and this mission will show up for you in your Garrison. It's not quite as cool as hanging out with your guildmates IRL, but at least you can be a hero.

If you don't find hunting rare pets a total boar, this guy might be up your alley. Added in Mists of Pandaria, he's nice for any hunter looking for a ghostly pet.

It's too bad this fish is out of season right now in Azeroth. You'll have to wait until March to taste it again--or to earn The Oceanographer if you haven't caught it before!

Solve these ten clues to receive ten entries and ten chances to win the contest!

If you get stuck on a number you can always ask your friends, Google, or even your guildmates. It's also important to know that a clue will always refer to a specific item or NPC--meaning if it's a mount, we want the item you learn the mount from, not the spell for it. You can also read the comments here at Wowhead and see if anyone has added another tip! Just make sure you don't post the exact answers here on Wowhead or you'll be disqualified and temporarily banned until the hunt is over.

Rules and Qualifications

This contest is open to anywhere that residents are allowed to participate in contests.

If receiving a physical prize, your country may have associated customs fees and taxes on that prize. We cannot pay these on your behalf.

No one may win more than one prize. While you might enter multiple times, you can't walk away with two codes.

If you win, the contest page will be edited to include your Wowhead username and you will be contacted via the email address associated with that account. Make sure your Wowhead information is updated; we don't want to have to send you a Lump of Coal!

Istaro is correct. Spent a lot of time looking in the wrong place before I thought to change the filter settings.

A few points:

You will not get the achievement if you are in the legion database unless they are specifically asked to go there. Had a few that would not work since i was in the legion build (particularly #5 and #8)

There is an error in the #9's riddle. The *blank* was added in 5.2, not 5.1.
